Notes: Copy from the Bill Devine collection contains coverless copies of Funnyman #1, Funnyman #3 and Guns of Fact and Fiction (A1 #13). Copy from the Matthew Gore collection contains coverless copies of Funnyman #1, Manhunt #7, and Funnyman #3. Another copy sold on eBay during October 2014 had Funnyman #2, Manhunt #4 and an issue of Tick Tock Tales. Another copy (https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/extra-comics-1948-3782873327) was described as containing Funnyman #1, Manhunt #6 and Funnyman #3. A CGC'd copy sold by Heritage Auctions on January 31, 2021 (https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/adventure/extra-comics-1-magazine-enterprises-1948-cgc-fn-55-off-white-pages/a/122105-11260.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515#), was noted as containing Funnyman, Undercover Girl, Space Ace and Red Fox stories as well as L.B. Cole art indicating it likely contained at least one issue each of Funnyman and Manhunt. A copy from the Davis Crippen collection ("D" Copy) sold by Heritage Auctions on February 4, 2007 (https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/adventure/extra-comics-1-davis-crippen-d-copy-pedigree-magazine-enterprises-1948-cgc-vf-80-off-white-to-white-pages/a/17021-16214.s?ic16=ViewItem-Auction-Open-ActionBar-PreviousLot-090315), was noted the same.

Given the promo ad for Tim Holt #3, the on-sale date of this comic was most likely during the fall of 1948. However, as noted on the cover sequence, the Mighty Atom artwork is from a story in The Mighty Atom and the Pixies #6, which was published in the fall of 1949.

Page count could vary depending on the included issues. Only the covers are indexed for this issue.
